Elizabeth Baylor Obituary


ELIZABETH ANN (WOOLWINE) BAYLOR, 83, of Charleston, passed away on August 20, 2019.
Ann was a fun, adventurous person who loved to travel and paint. She was a member of the Allied Artist Guild and specialized in watercolor. She was the head majorette for South Charleston High School and won a scholarship to Marshall University in the Miss Kanawha Valley Majorette competition.
She built a life with her late husband, H. Nelson (Nels) Baylor of Pittsburgh. They had two sons whom they enjoyed reading, camping and traveling with. They lived in Puerto Rico, New Orleans, and Japan and traveled extensively. Ann loved the Kanawha Valley and kept her home and roots in WV. She loved the ocean and spent many days enjoying the splendor of Emerald Isle. One of the highlights of Ann's life was enjoying a good tea party or teaching her granddaughters to paint. She was an enthusiastic grandmother who loved her four grandchildren. She had a sweet dog, named Snowball, that was her constant, loyal companion.
Elizabeth is survived by her son, George (Monty) Baylor, MD, wife Kathy, their children, her grandchildren, Lexie and McKenzie of Roanoke, Va., and son, Brad Baylor, wife Sharon, their children, her grandchildren, Grayson and Jackson of Pittsburgh, PA; her sister, Phyllis Alexander and husband Matthew (Mackie), niece, Beth Grooms and husband Todd; nephew, Matthew Alexander III and wife Lynn.
She was preceded in death by her husband of 50 years, H. Nelson (Nels) Baylor, mother, Jane Elizabeth Woolwine, her father, Phillip Montgomery Woolwine, and her brother, Phillip (little Phil) Montgomery Jr.

My mom says that on some mornings when I was a baby, she would wake up to find Ann already at our house, already feeding me breakfast in the kitchen. My mom was sick, so after she got you two going in the mornings, she swang over for a "second shift". She was a gifted artist. My favorite Christmas Ornament that I talked my mom into letting me have decades ago was made by her. But, her kindness will always be her main attribute. She may have been a majorette in High School, but she was a cheerleader through life. She sent me clippings from newspapers of me or my siblings. She even came to my first wedding in 2004. Ann and Nels were two of the kindest people I knew.
My sympathies to Monty, Brad, and your families (Monty, thank you for calling my Mom to let her know) Our hearts are with you.
